700,000 men a year are victims of domestic abuse.

Nope. Only around 37% of types of domestic abuse are actually physical - the rest being emotional, financial, neglect and discriminatory abuse. So really the implications are just stereotypes.

I know the data is from a small part of the country, but I doubt overall in the country (and even the world) the amount of physical abuse will be more than 50%. It's unlikely for data to be out by 13% IMO.

We don't like people misusing statistics regurgitated by the media involving the suffering of others purely to push an agenda.

Yes you so often question the statistics don't you, only on this article others you agree with the statistics no matter what.

Feminism is a women's' movement. It focuses on women's issues. Men's movements should focus on such issues but unfortunately there is no coherent mens issues movement as the current MRA seem to be almost entirely comprised of raidically right wing anti-feminists pretending they care about men's issues.

And the feminist movement isn't just about 'equality' it's about campaigning on and trying to help issues which effect women, whether that is something like Breast Cancer or the reasons women go into prostitution among others.

I don't think feminism makes out women can never be the perpetrators, of course they can. I'm a feminist and of course admit and condemn any abuse by women, like I do any abuse by men.

I don't see any contradiction at all between being a feminist and supporting real issues than effect men. Unfortunately it seems like its the MRA lot who does.

The biggest problem, as I see it, with feminism is that there's no consistent direction. Some feminists say it's a movement for equality and others say it's about women's issues.

rofl

you arent good at trolling at all, soz

Grow up with your misandry.

That's fine. It's a broad movement with different groups within that.
I'm more of a women's issues type feminist rather than mere 'equality'.
Things such as prostitution and female genital mutilation for example are not to do with equality but are very important.

It can't be both

Of course it can. The overall theme is women's issues, equality is just part of that.

They're too different to reasonably be the same group. The real problem is that no one seems to be able to decide what feminism really is

It's just wrong that men that have suffered aren't treated the same way as women that have suffered. And I'm quite surprised by the male audience thinking this is something to laugh at, because this can happen to anyone. Domestic abuse can go for BOTH GENDERS, same goes for rape, molestation, etc.

The ways that female abusers control their victims is more psychological and verbal, rather than physical (although there's always a chance of that happening too). So don't always assume domestic abuse is strictly physical. Not only that, but like females, males will go back to their abuser if they feel that they've changed, as they're so attached and their abuser is the only person they can go to (as they would have cut ties with their other relationships; through the psychological abuse the female would have put on the male, in order to put the female as their main attention).

Absolutely which its why it is pathetic that the OP made it about feminism.

I am one of those men. I can sympathise with their plight. I get beaten up very regularly by my violent girlfriend.

hey you are safe here dude

Oh really, when did he? I didn't notice.

If you're a man getting beat up regularly by your women then lol. Maybe these 700,000 females are cagefighting world champions but I doubt it haha.
